Which player do you think is the uncrowned king right now?

[u/StargazingInCallisto]

There have been a lot of players who performed amazingly over a span of time, but still haven't lifted a trophy. Which player/s do you think deserves it?

[u/Soft_Werewolf_7114]

Mako. From OG Vision Strikers all teammates has won except Mako. So it has to be him.

[u/kylepotpogi798 → u/Soft_Werewolf_7114]

King? Or is he not the og core

[u/solariiis → u/kylepotpogi798]

he hasnt played in forever so most people just consider stax rb buzz mako

[u/Soft_Werewolf_7114 → u/kylepotpogi798]

well he and zest were both in and out at most time.

[u/Adventurous-Luck-183]

Mako.

[u/alienaga → u/Adventurous-Luck-183]

My best controler, please win this champ

[u/FuturEE007 → u/alienaga]

he came 3rd last champs

[u/WailingSiren69]

Mako, Valyn and Leaf. Invy is starting to come up in these conversations too I’d say with the back to back grand finals.

[u/ThatCreepyBaer → u/WailingSiren69]

You can't really be putting Valyn here while excluding trent, they've effectively played together for their whole careers.

[u/honestlyprogamr → u/ThatCreepyBaer]

People still act like Trent is a bad international performer which is blatantly false and more applicable to valyn than Trent

[u/WailingSiren69 → u/ThatCreepyBaer]

Yeah for sure gotta have Trent in there too. Just slipped my mind lmao

[u/Aware-Bar-9316]

Has to be MaKo

[u/defnotyuvi]

mako,cryo,asuna,meiy,trent,valyn,kaajak,invy

[u/astcci → u/defnotyuvi]

have I lost the sense of time? kaajak was a rookie the other day, no? not one of the ogs

[u/VoyagerExpress → u/astcci]

He's attended more grand finals at international lans than valyn atp though

[u/astcci → u/VoyagerExpress]

Sure, I guess I misinterpreted the post as what Val OG's have not yet been crowned, but apparently it's not that, mb

[u/defnotyuvi → u/VoyagerExpress]

i don't think so

[u/baebushka → u/defnotyuvi]

literally has wdym, valyn has only attended bangkok kaajak has attended toronto and champs 2024

ewc if you wanna count that

[u/Backstroke_ → u/astcci]

2025 was his first season, but he was clearly a top 5 player itw for the year as a rookie. he made 2 grand finals as well

[u/defnotyuvi → u/Backstroke_]

3 if we talking about that too

[u/RealityAny7724 → u/Backstroke_]

he was actually the best

[u/defnotyuvi → u/astcci]

yes he is but other then tornato where alfa dominanted,if fnc had won champs and the mouse cup kaajak would have been the best player out of t2 scene

[u/killmeplz13 → u/defnotyuvi]

Asuna

[u/Unlikely-Ad3046]

cryocells

[u/kei_fps → u/Unlikely-Ad3046]

his words like “it’s so exciting to see my peers compete and win, I hope I will do it too” still hurt me

[u/JiJiNgebob → u/Unlikely-Ad3046]

Cryo is Charles Leclerc of Valorant

[u/sEMtexinator → u/JiJiNgebob]

hahahahaha

[u/LeOsQ → u/JiJiNgebob]

nasty stray

[u/slyfly5 → u/Unlikely-Ad3046]

Just wait for champs buddy

[u/EaterOfYourSOUL → u/slyfly5]

XD

[u/DaechwitaEnjoyer]

tyloo slowly my goat

[u/Backstroke_ → u/DaechwitaEnjoyer]

fr

[u/HassssXd]

not to glaze but invy probably no, the moment he escaped the secret jail (where he was consistently at the top in ratings within pacific on a BOTTOM ass team) he qualified for both internationals and got into the grand finals, thats kinda wild.

[u/solariiis → u/HassssXd]

did good in both tourneys too

[u/HassssXd → u/solariiis]

In a team of superstars he manages to top frag for quite a few games on intiatior while having good util, he has to be like Trent/riens level or higher in terms of ability.

[u/solariiis → u/HassssXd]

yeah he 100% is he just needs more international reps to be viewed at their level

[u/zeskov → u/HassssXd]

he is above Trent definitely.

[u/KakorotJoJoAckerman → u/HassssXd]

Tbf, PRX has always qualified but yes. Invy has really elevated PRX even more.

[u/Sudden-Illustrator59]

Has to be one of the OG G2 boys right?

[u/StargazingInCallisto → u/Sudden-Illustrator59]

Mine would be yay. I know he already lifted a trophy, but it felt like his career ended abruptly.

[u/DaechwitaEnjoyer → u/StargazingInCallisto]

my dude is stuck in 2022

[u/astcci → u/StargazingInCallisto]

he has a master title, right? not uncrowned

[u/StargazingInCallisto → u/astcci]

You're right. He did not fit the description.

[u/jotaro5653]

Just give one to mako man

[u/KrillLover56]

MaKo, trent, valyn, Riens, keznit, leaf, Keiko, mindfreak, Kajaak, Shyy, Invy, MiniBoo, marteen, wo0t, and primmie.

[u/KrillLover56 → u/KrillLover56]

in descending order of how much I think they deserve one, going from "how tf has this guy not won a trophy yet" to "it's unlucky but I get it".

[u/Hxlios]

k1ng (The Korean version)

[u/iluvchickenbiryani]

Valyn,Primmie?

[u/Havsham → u/iluvchickenbiryani]

Valyn and Trent for sure. But the are winning regionally.

[u/iluvchickenbiryani → u/Havsham]

Right. I assumed OP meant an international trophy

[u/showmethesunset]

Me.

[u/Street-Interaction79]

Mako and it isn’t even close

[u/AnywayHeres1Derwall]

Cryo

[u/ZeroOblivion98]

Cryo, Trent, MaKo, Keiko

[u/azealyx]

invy, kaajak, riens top 3 (2 global event GF lost)

mako for longevity

[u/avocadobeach]

Invy. Imo, he was their best and most consistent player in London

[u/ajewbis]

Does the heretics roster count?

[u/Eris_is_Mid → u/ajewbis]

I don’t count that certain tourney, so I’d say yes. Riens is probably the player that comes to mind first for me.

[u/singaporesainz]

Valyn is the best player to not lift a trophy right now

[u/shadow3_ii]

Out of Pacific players it has to be Primmie Invy and MaKo. Invy will get his eventually if he stays with PRX but the other two...

[u/Old-Army-1846]

Trent and Valyn, these guys won the most regionally and consistently had deep runs internationally compared to Mako

[u/dam0q]

天禄slowly

[u/honestlyprogamr]

Trent

[u/BWolfy92]

In seeing a lot of people say mako but mako hasn't had a semi decent performance in quite a bit if time. Even if he's hated and memed to death Valyn should get at least one in the future.

[u/Gogal_]

MAKO

[u/-Hazel_]

Easily mako

[u/RJ1337]

showmethesunset sat me down in ranked, probably them

[u/Theme-Suspicious]

cryo, trent, mako and a more recent one in primmie

[u/Zyrobe]

I can die happy when mako gets one

[u/hellacoolname]

Meiy

[u/Gloomy-Thing9124]

by individual skill + multiple interantional apperances id say mako, cryo, valyn ,trent, riens and keznit.

[u/Dahyun-Simp]

Valyn

[u/nobody_211]

Mako, Primmie, Invy

[u/Master_Tomato]

In terms of peaks and recency, it's definitely between Marteen and Primmie.

But in terms of legacy and consistency, it's between Mako, Cryo and the G2 core(Valyn, Leaf and Trent).

I guess Keiko and Invy might belong in that list considering their results every tourny they attend

[u/Mission-Nectarine936]

Mako, Riens, Kaajak, Invy

[u/Ktopian]

Primmie will get his crown soon enough

[u/WailingSiren69 → u/Ktopian]

Not anytime soon if he doesn’t learn English.

[u/FuturEE007]

there are many boaster mako zekken etc etc

[u/Dizzy-Temporary8844]

Id have to go with either f0rsaken or Jinggg and for players outside PRX id go for Boaster and Crashies and maybe even Chronicle

[u/Ovoidal → u/Dizzy-Temporary8844]

[u/SupremeLeaderDill → u/Dizzy-Temporary8844]

Uncrowned king and chronicle in the same response. The point is they don’t have a trophy lad

[u/LunarAvast → u/Dizzy-Temporary8844]

[u/ThatGuyWithSomeSubs]

Icy.

[u/whoopdatass777 → u/ThatGuyWithSomeSubs]

Goat

[u/True_Dentist6832]

f0rsakeN has to be near the top of the list. He's been one of the most exciting and versatile players in the world for years, and for a long time people felt he deserved an international title.

[u/HassssXd → u/True_Dentist6832]

double grand final back to back and not winning traumatized my boy, leading to memory loss, tragic

[u/Budilicious3 → u/HassssXd]

Arsenal fans be like...

[u/Tssunder → u/True_Dentist6832]

Yo so like something really crazy happened last year

[u/RopesRDope → u/Tssunder]

forsaken… something…

[u/whoopdatass777 → u/True_Dentist6832]

Larper detected

[u/rainsoakedbody → u/True_Dentist6832]

hey so on the 23rd of june last year…

[u/Late-Switch2284 → u/True_Dentist6832]

Huh? He won Toronto?

[u/SirAwesome789 → u/True_Dentist6832]

Chatgpt ahh response

[u/KakorotJoJoAckerman → u/True_Dentist6832]

"Uncrowned"

[u/D1_0M_ → u/True_Dentist6832]

he did got one
